“Diggers you say? We’re fricking heroes!”
The mining activities are the reason why Icarus station has been built, and ore extraction is what keeps the business running. The company, Mars and Earth see mining activities as paramount, and according to their plans they are to be considered a priority. The asteroid is littered with uranium ore deposits and radon gas pockets: the ore is extracted everyday, after proper prospecting, and then checked for quality and impurities, while the gas pockets are much more difficult to find. Kowmang also grants bonus money to mining, management and science lab personnel, whenever the extracted ore exceeds the production quota by a fixed amount.
Miners are definitely the backbone of Icarus Station: their work is hard and not without risks; the environment is dangerous and toxic: workers need to wear suits and depend on personal oxygen tanks while operating in the Mining Zone, which is a dark and scary place. Daily medical check-ups are in order to ensure the miners’s health.

Teaser: Madaki had a life, some time ago, a nice and quiet life back on Ceres. It wasn't that exciting or special, but it was quite a good one. When L. found S. Weintraub in the streets, homeless, the Earther was a wreck with no purpose and no joy in life, and needed serious help. Madaki had always been a kind person, and knew from experience that sometimes all you need is a little gentle push to get back on track, and a little lovin' to find balance in this life. That's how it started with Weintraub, and then they just fell in love. Madaki listened and cared about Weintraub's tragic story, felt for the loss that the poor Earther had to endure and wanted to be there to help no matter what. Weintraub got better, and Madaki felt that encouraging the partner to finally find peace would have made their life together finally perfect. That's why leaving Eros and the old job to get both hired on Icarus station to find some answers looked like a good idea. But now that they're here, that's a living nightmare. Of course, Madaki has asked Weintraub to move back to Ceres, but Weintraub doesn't care much about L.'s opinions anymore. That was the moment when drugs and alcohol started to show some appeal, once again.

Player's notes:

Relations:Agarwal, the boss, has already said Madaki should work more, and caught L. pretending to be ill twice. Weintraub is the reason Madaki came to Icarus, they used to have a strong and intimate relationship back on Ceres. But now it's different. From the very first day Sun has shown to be a kindred spirit, and the person to turn to when Madaki feels down and unhappy. Sun also has a lot of friends, and L. really needs friends and entertainment right now! Baz seems an interesting person. Silva seems understanding, and fuels Madaki's resentments for the situation with Weintraub.
